About the tides at Skamokawa
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. With a mean range of about 6.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.4 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 6.2 ft, on Sunday.
A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It was established in 1981. The nearest other station is Wauna, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Quinn Island, Prairie Channel.
